—eee THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY: FEBRUARY 2, 1879--SIXTEEN PAGES and command of funds could interfere more or Jess in State affairs; and thatit would be the opening for kindred schemes, among them a National University, which would in the end centralize education in the hands of the Fed- eral Government. The Courant 2dds: *“The srgument is made in the House that the Gov- ernment owes this duty to the millions of ne- groes it has freed. The Government owes noth- jng to them, except to protest them exactly as it protects all other citizens in the enjoyment of political rights within its constitutional limits. The Government is neither a hospital, nor a parsery. nor an academy. Af it has any surplus oney it had better pay its debts and reduce the pressure of taxation.” ——— The salaries of the Cincinnati teachers have ‘been reduced. The following remarkable pro- visions are made by the amended schedule,— ther may be left to speak forthemselves: Inter- mediate schools—Female assistants, $500, with agearly increase of $50, up to $700; present salars, 8600 to $S00. Male teachers in positions of female teachers, $600, with a yearly increase of $100, up to $300; present salary, $700 up to £900. -District schools—Female assistants, $400, with a yearly fncrease of $30, up to $600; pres- ent salary, $400 to $700. Male teachers in fe- male teachers’ vositions, $300, with searly in- crease of $100, up to $700; no.\czhnnge. ———— % Mr. WHITTIER, Mr. GARRISOX, and the Rev. Dr. PraBoDY wrote to the Massachusctts Teachers’ Association at its last mecting letters opposing military arill in schools. Mr. WmT- 71ER'S letter was as follows: ‘I earnestly hope that the decision of the Association may be de- cidedly azainst this useless and, to a very large (lass of the community, highly objectionable jeature. We are still suffering from the effects of the development of the war spirit, fn the chespening of buman life and the reckless use of deadly weapons. Gob iorbid that we should continue to foster it.”” —— Archbishop PORCELL's resignation is again spoken of, and the ramor is azain contradicted. But our experience of Roman Catholic affairs Jeads us to presume that where there is 50 much smoke there is some fire. The Archbishop was conscerated Bishop forts-five years ago. The unfortunate embarrassment of the business ffairs of the Diocese of Cincinnati is the sup- posedeause of bis intended resigoation; and, whether the rumor is true or not, there is no Joubt that hie would retire instantly if his doing 0 would contribute in any way to the good of the Church. e ' Dr. SAMDEL JONNSON was Witty as well as brazal in his eriticisms. The Bishop of Killa- Joe having once expressed to him au appre- hension that if he should visit Ircland he might treat the people of that country more unfavora- bly than he had done the Scotch, JomysoN ao- swered, * Sir, you have no reason to be afraid of me. . The Irish are not, like the Scotch, in a conspirscy to deceire the world by {false repre- gotations of the merits of their countrymen. No, sir; the Irish are a fair people; they never g spealk well of one another.” —————— So glad to leara from our New York name- sake that there is not standing-room in its office owing to the throng of people who rush in from dawn till dewy eve to buy its Almanac; also, that the presses are running on the new edition.

SANBORK, in his Scribner article on EvEI says that a larze proportion of “his ork still rerfains in manuseript. * Scarcely any of his sermons have been printed; most of his speeches on social occasions are uncollected and unedited; many verses and lecturesare still in manuscript.” It will be impossible, there- fore, to estimate fairly the work of this great and rood man—in some respects the greatest. and best New England bas produced—until after his death. —_—— The new criminal code in New York, it adopted, will call a spadesa spade, and murder murder, and the “ecriminal aporopriation of property,” without regard to the standing in society of the appropriator, *larceny.” It will cut off verbiage, technicalities, and legal ob- structions to the administration of justice, and make some of the fat kine among the lawyers very lean. _—— The tax-eaters are on the rampage. Their cry is for more. They want to increase their num- Ders and their salaries. Of course they do. But all increase of municipal expeuditures means in- crease of taxation in preciscly the same propor- tion. .Ana people have found out what it is to raise money to pay taxes in bard times, when 8 dollar means a day’s Work. T it—— It every aollar increasc to salaries of city of- fiers @id not mecessitate a like enlarzement of the taxpayers’ burdens, the Council might be ‘pardoned for indulging in liberality. But they can't put more money into officeholders’ pock- ets withont leaving less in the pockets of their taxpaying constituents. The more taxes people have to pay the less property they have left. Officeholders can’t be muitiplied or have their salaries raised without consuming the property and impoverishing the taxpayers in an inverse proportion. —_———— St. Louis rejoices with excecding great joy because Chief Josepm admired its Berridge.

Accidents through defective cables have come to be of such frequency during the past few vears that means should be taken to provide acainst their repetition. An ordinance having that io view passed the Common Council two weeks ago. ‘There should be no delay in the ap- pointment of a proper Inspettor. \Within three months a man has been killed by the falling of an clevator on Wabash avenue, and three men have been seriously injured at Lyon & Healy’s tonrough the same cause. About 3 o’clock yes- terday afternoon a defective cable attached to an clevator at Bridgman, McNamara & Co.’s, 61 South Water street, parted, with the usual re- sult. A young mannamed Edward Erubling, residing at 223 Chestout street, and _employed by the firm as a shippiog clerk, loaded the elevator with an invoice of washboards, and, getting on himself, began an ascent to an upper story. As near as can be ascertained, he had reached the third floor when the cable parted, aud he was precipitated to the base- ment of the establishment, a distance of forty feet. Those engaged in the front of the store Thurried to learn the caiise of the unexpected crash, and found the elevator resting on the brick floor of the basement, a mass of ruips. ‘The unfortunate young man in whose charge it had been when tlie accident occurred was found near by in an unconscious condition. Upon making an_examiation of his injurics, it was found that he had lost his left band, which bad been cut from the arm, and hoog by shreds, had fractured the lefc arm near the shoulder, crushed his right foot, and fractured the leg between the ankle and Krce. Drs. Arndt and Hyer were called, but were un- able to do anything to relieve bis sufferings, and he was taken to the County Hospital, when his wounds were attended to. He is 8 man about 35 years of age, unmarried, a member of the First Reriment, und residing as above indi- cated. The elevator is one of the Bouton hydraulic pattern, and was_thought to be per- 1cetly safe. Some time last November the pack- ing in the piston of the engine became loose, and mechanies werc called in who_repaired the imperfection. At that time a careful _examina- tion was_ supposed ¢ to have been mado of the hoisting apparatus, which as decided to be in perfect order. But those who made the examination it scems overlooked a ““ splice” in the wire cable \which has becn the means of makiog another of {hcse calamities with which the public is becom- ine familiar. The elevator hins been in constant use for months, and though the weight it used to carry was never great, it has vet been ot to. gradually loosen the “splice’ and v serious accident, which might have been avoided, had an official been appointed charged with the duty of making a close iospec- tion. The physicians were unatle to decide upon the extent of the injuries inflicted, but state that it will be months before their patient woula be convalescent, s his arm certainly, and most likely his I il have to be amputated.

The salaries for the month of January weid ordered pail,—the police pay-roll being $943.33, and that of the Water-Works employes, $206, being included. The Comptroller reported the gmount of moncy in the Treasury, and his report was ap- proved. The amouut on hand in the Treasury was $40,946.99. Mr. Freeman, the Village Attorney, reported in regard to the South Chicago ditch. The only opposition to the improvement was the Illinois Central Railroad, and as_they were ready to give $30 for immupity from asscssment, the attorney was autnorized to let the contract with- out further adverdising.

It Gets After Two of Its Own Members Who Are Charged with Visiting Baum, the Saloon-Keeper, And Offering Their Aid to Have Mr. Crafts Indicted. The January Grand Jury closed its labors at a late hour yesterday afternoon, after being engaged the most of the day in the unusual and almost unbeard-ot proceeding of attempt- ing to indict two of its own members. In the forenoon it came to the notice of certain jurors that two of the members had been to see Baum, the saloon-keeper, who had sought to have the Rev. W. F. Crafts indicted for libel, and had told him that if he would leave a2 sum of money at Mike McDonald’s that, notwith- standing the jury had failed to indict, its action could be reconsidered. This story was told to the jury, but no one would confess that he had seen or knew Baum, and according- Iy be was sent for and shown into the. room. When he entered he bad not the remotest idea of what was wanted with him, but he was speedily informed, and asked to point out the men who had been accused. He looked around, eyed each mcwber closely, and pointed out Louis J, Schmiut 1s being one of them and Richard K. Richardson as the other, AND THEREAFTER THERE WAS MUSIC, and indignation ran bhigh. ‘The accused were then invited to retire, and Baum was examined in detail, telling an apparently straizht story. He testified substantially that these - individuals had called upon him several timgs inmediately after the jury had passed upon the Crafts case, and that Richard- son had talked the case over and totd him thut if he would leave money at McDounnld’s an in- dictment could be procured. He was positive that Richardson was the man, and equally post- tive abont Schimidt, and that the former made sundry propositions to bim touching the case and looking to bleeding him. The latter never gskee him for money directly, but had talked very much as if that was what he was after. As soon 3s the examination of Baum had been completed » HISBARKEEPER was sent for, and was subjected to about the sume line of questioning. He, like Baum, did not know what was wanted with him, and heis said to have acted nervousty. As soon as he co- tered the room, however, his attention was called to the recent Yisits of Grand Jurors to Baum’s place, and asked to point out any one he recognized as baving been there. Both of the accuscd were upon thie outside at the time, and after looking around him for a few minutes he said he could not recoguize auny one present. He was then asked to step mto a closet, and, while in there, Richardson was called in and given ascat. He was then taken frum the closet find arain asked to single out one of the visitors, and after Jooking around awhile and collecting his thoughts, he pointed his finger at Richard- son and sald. “I believe that is the man, but I am mnot positive.” Richardson was then asked to speak to see if the barkeeper could recognize his voice, and sgain he said that he believed he was the man, though he was not go positive in his {dertification as Baum had cen. In the examination of these two witmesses as to the conduct of Richardson and Schmidt, the most of the day was consumed, and the result was that it was mot until nearly 7 o'clock that an adjomrnment was had, and that the jury made its fioal report. At that hour,” however, they filed iuto court, the accused occupying _positions well in the rear, and the foreman handed Judee Williams a large package of indictments and no bills, and asked permissioni to present *‘some extraneous matter, which was no more nor less than the conclusion reached in the investigation of which the Court knew nothing.” The per- wission was granted, and THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT WAS READ: The Grand Jury desire to call the attention of the Criminal Conrt of Cook County to the fact that two Grand Jurors—Louis Schwid> and Richard Rich- arason—have during the scssion of the Grana Jury _visited the place of business of Ber- pard Baom, a person interested as prosecuting witness in a case pending before the said Grand Jury, and desires to express the opinion to the Court that in tmis act & contempt Was committed, articularly as the Grand Jury has reason to be- icve that tne memoers charzed visited the srid place for corcapt reasons in connection with the ¥aid case. Cunis Maxen, Foreman. State’s-Attorney Mills suggested that the in- dividuals named should be attached for con- tempt at once if they were present. The Court replied, after some reflection, that perhaps it would be better to entera rule for them to show cause why they should not be at- tached for contempt. Mr. Milis agrced that that would, perhaps, be the better plan. ‘The Court made some further obscrvations touching the case, and finally disposed of it by ordering a rule entered for them ‘to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt by Saturday morning, and discharged the jury wuhent even s mucb as “Thank you, gentle- en.” Besides this document, the jury returned sev- enty-seven true bills and a number of no bills. All'of the complaints against saloon-keepers for selling liquor to minors were ignored, of which there were quite a number. AMONG THE TRUE BILLS was_one_against George A. Blaikie, the robber of the Fidelity Bauk vaults. 1t contained six counts, charging bim with the larceny of §50,- 000, larceny as_bailge, and embezzicment; one agaiost Jobn Cannon for attempting_to murder his mother: one against Daviel Kellogz for keeping & zambling-fiouse; one against Mickael Lawler for rcceiving stolen goods; and elght against Patrick Hennessey for forgery. Assoon us the juf was discharged, a TRin- une reporter cornercd the offending members and had a talk with them. i RICHARDSON, a tall, well-built, partially-gray gentleman of about 40 years of age, was found anxious to tell s story, which was o geveral denial of every- thing. "He said he did not koow Baum, had Dever seen him or heard of bim'until he was be- fore the jury; did not know where his place was, and was positive thut e had nvever Dbeen there. At the time Baum said he was at his place he was in a buteler’s shop on Chicago av- cnue with a Mr. Mott, and, besides, he could not have been there, for the jury was in session until 5:15, and it would have been impossible for him to have reached Bauwm’s place by 6:30, the time it was claimed he nad the convérsation with him. SFurther than this, he said he lad never dreamed of secing Baum or any oune else on any such busiuess, and he waated the papers to make for him a wholesale aud general.denial of alland everything that bad been . alleged against him, wvotwitbstandiog that he subse- quently confessed to having spoken of Baum and the case to Schmidt. SCHMIDT wa is a low-browed, rough-appearing fellow, of medium stature, with beery-breath, and di- sheveled hair, and altogether unattractive. He was anxious, also, to tell his story, but it was 50 mixed, and told with so much nervousness, that it was almost fmpossible to understand what he was saying. This much, howerer, could be made out of it: Ile knew Baumj; had been to his place several times; had net bim on the outside and talked with him about the case; had told him that the airing of Crafts before the jury on his part was simply an advertising scheme, which hic should pay for, and this was all that he ever said about mouey to him. After he had finished his story of scif-defense the reporter asked him, very fnnocently, what Commissioner had drawn him on the jury, but he saw the point at once and dodged the ques- tion by saying thut he did not want to mix the Commissioners up with the affair. This being & taclt admissfon that he koew who had put in his name, the reporter next asked him if he absolutely knew to whom he owed Lis position as juror, and he replied that he did, thus going to_prova the fact that he asked o be put on the jury,—which is a criminal of- fense,—and making the inference strone that he had a purpose in_becomin & juror which does Dot attach to such s position. -~ Judge Willlams might inquire into this phase of lis case with profit to the public when inquiring {nto his rela- tions with Baum. A reporter called on e MR, BAUX and asked him to_state his experi- and he aid last evening, ence with Schwidt and Richardson, £0 as follows: « After [ had left the Grand-Jury room 3Mon- day afterioon, 1 met Schmidt on State street, coming out of a eigar store." “.Did you know him?, @ Yes, by sigl t;. but T didn't know his name. I safd, “Hallol_you heré?” He says, *Yes, just Sait; T'H go with you,” He was in company with auother man.” We came to the Pavilion, — ! had a drink st the bar, and he said, ¢ Let'ssit down,’ and we did so. He says, ¢ Well, Baum, we haven’t disposed of_that case; we just post- poned it for a week. Very likely we will take it up again.’ ¢ That is all rigbt—I don’t know how it turns out; I don’t kuow how those cases work; if the State’s-Attorney calls me again I will be there.! Ho didn’t say much more, and I dido’t pive him a chance.” Why notd” 5 “Because I had o German idea of a Grand Jury,—of its high character,—and really con- sidéred the matter so sacred thet I feit reluctant to talk about it.”” “Did Schmidt call to sce you subsequently?” “T didn’t see him, but niy barkeeper says he came twice after that and asked for me.” “Does your barkeeper know Schinidt?” “Yes: after he left that day, the barkeeper asked me if 1 had any business with that man. I said, ‘No, be ison the Grand Jury.’ The bar- keeper smd, ‘Don’t trust him; he is a scoun- drel; he cheats everybody ; he owes me money.? 1 told the barkeeper I didn’t koow him par- ticu,l;'xrly; that he wouldn’t get a chance on me. = t Well, what about Richardson#"” «\ednesday, about 5 0'clock, & man came In s face 1ooled familiar to me—I had seon him before, but didn’t kuow his name, No one was hurc_excegc myself and the Larkeeper, and he was ifi the back part of the room. The man says, *Are youa German? Isaid, ¢ Yes’; and then he commenced to talk to mein German. Tle savs, ¢1 would like to sec you if you are ap lefsure. Get somebody to take yourplace.’ I was tending bar. So Lcalled to the barkeeper, ¢Come here a mioute, the gentleman wants to sec me.’ We went into the Isdies’ room and sat down, und he says, “Mr. Baum, do care about having you Crafts indicted¥"” I said, * As the thing stands not, I don’t care for this Grand Jury, because they didu’t find an indictment, and 1 'will see my Tawyer and we wiil probably brinz the matter up before the next Grand Jury.” He says, * You are not exactly correct. It iS not true that this Grand Jury didn’t fiud an indictment. We just postponed the case. We didn’t dispose of it entirely. We postponed it for about a week or so.’ ie says, * You know iell enougn how those cases have to be worked. 1t was so in the Greenebaum case, and we had another where they didn’t find an indictment first, but after- words the thing was fixed.’ It was some- thing about & woman from the country, —1 ~ didn’t pay much attention io it,—but the parcy was indicted, Hesays,*Now if you go down to McDonald’s, if you care for au indictment azalnst that minister, and deposit some money there—' " *Did he mention any sum?” # No, and I didn’t 38k him. T really was so astonished at a Graud Juror talking go plainly that 1 was pérplexed, and 1 could hardly talk to him. He says, *1I you go down to McDonald’s and deposit some money, we will easily find the jurymen. It takes twelve.” Awnd then he men- tioned Schmidt, saving tbat he Thad talked the matter over with him—had talked with somebody who saw me bLefore; ‘the thing could be fixed easv enough, and if we don't find any indicument, you can get your money back. You know well enough your money is safe.’ I said, ‘I don’t like this kind of work; itis too dirty. and I wouldn’t like to do it.” He says, ‘If you don’t care about it, it is all rigt; that is the only way the thing can be fixed.’ I said, ‘Really, il .1 can’t succced with this Grand Jury and get my rightsina proper way, we will try the next one.’ I told him I wouldn’t go into such dirty business. He says, *All right; all ight.’ S0 _we went out to the bar, and 1 inyited him to take a cigar, and he took one, aud then left.” “How did it get out that these two men had called to see you?” “Vell, everybody on the street and in my place were astonished that the Grand Jury did not find an .indictmentyand asked me how it was when I had been libeled in such a way. And, Friday, at & meetiog 12 Turper Hall, I was asked “about it, and finally said, ‘It is no wonder, if you have to buy the jury first. 1f you don’t want to do that, you can’t get an in- dictment. That s all thereis over it.” There was a reporter present, and he beard the remark. and publisued it, and the Germans on the Grand Jury determined to go to the bottom of the matter. This morning (Saturday) 1 pot a subpene to go before them. It read *in the Crafts’ case,” and Isupposed that was to come up, not knowing the inouiry would be about the other matter. When I got instde I found out this was under consideration, and told my story, and pointed out the man.. He said, *I have never beenin your place in my life.’ Afterwards be came into the rovm, having been sent out, and he was given a chance to ask me questions. He sald, “When was it the man called at your place Wednesday® I told him “Between 5 and 6 o'clock,’ and then he said, ¢ ‘L'hat is all I have to ask.” And thatis all. The reporter also interviewed THE BARKEETER, LouisSiwing, whose statement was substantial- 1y as foliows: ; ©1 know Schmidt. He{s a reeular beat. He owes me 50 cents for drinks. I was before the Grand Jury and pointed him out. The other man I was pot so certain about. I only saw him once, when he came into the Pavilion to see Mr. Baum. They asked me to point him out, but he wasn’t in the room. Then they put me in the water-closet, and when 1 came out they asked me to look sround, and I did so, and saw him seated between two men, and said, ‘I think that is the man.” There was another man there that Jooked like him. They asked me if I would swear that was the man, and I didn’t like to, as 1 had seen him only'once. Then they asked him to speak, and Ifelt riuiw sure, from his voice, that he was the one. 1 told them what 1 thouht of Schwmidt.” This jury, as odious as former juries have heen, it wiil be scen, bas excelled " its prede- cessors in evervthing except work. It i3 the flvst that has ever been called upon to charge its own members with corruption, and the first, also, ever drawn by the present County Board. As a whole, it basnot been a credit to any one, though among its membvers are ‘some good men.

Norwich (Conn.) Bultetin. We learn of the sudden death in Lovwell, Mass., on Jan. 20 ult,, of Mr. Albert G. Cook, a well- known citizen of that town, and a member of the firm of J.'C. Ayer & Co. He had been in faling health for over a year, and his death was not un- expected. Mr. Cook, like Dr. Ayer, was a native of Preston, Coan., and his disease will be mourned by a large circle of friends, both in that town and in this city. The deceased leaves a property esti- mated at $250,000, bequeathing to his widow an elegant homestead and one-third of his real estate; also making bequests to relatives and friends to the amount of $40,000, the balance to his broth- ers, Williom C.

What Mr. William M. Dee’s Recent Scientific System of Ventillation Has Accomplisheds . Mistaken Econo'my. The man who would feed his family on poi- soned food or who would knowingly introduce the germsof a pestilence into his househoid would speedily find himself delivered up to the hands of outraged justice, and the bhorrified public would allow no tedious lezal delays to interpose or prevent a swift and’ summary pun- ishment. And yet how many men through criminal carclessness or & terribly mis- taken ecconomy permit their homer to be poisoned by the insidious exhalations of sewer gas? The dangers arising from this source have been s0 often pointed out that ignorance can no longer be pleaded as an excuse. Every water closet and every station- ary wash-stand if not properly protected invites the entrance of those deadly malarial poisons which swell the mortality lists in all large cities. The many thousands who are thus sent to un- timely graves is something appalling to think of, to say nothing of the long list of headaches, bowel complaints, lung diseases, and fevers due to the same cause. Houscholders are lulled into a fancied sccurity by the absencs of un- pleasant odors and areled to believe that be- cause there i5 no * bad smell” in the bouse that itis therefore frec from poisonous gases. Thefact is that the mostdaogerous of these gases cannot be detected by the odor, and so lonz as people who _boast of their education and refinement and the costly elegance of their dwellings areso careless about the construction of the sewer: connections, s0 long will disease continue its ravages. A Chicago ought to be one of the most healthy citles on the continent, enjoying as it does the fresh lake breezes and the unlimited supply of pure water, and it only rematosto adopt a per- fect sewerage system. The press has fromtime to time called the public attention to this subject, and it is unnecessary at present to go into de- tails. It bas been fully demonstrated hereto- fore that the escapeof this gas can be effect- ually prevented by @ proper arrangement of the discharge-pipes. in the houses; and in this con- nection we would again call attention to the excellence of the system of seweraze ventilation adopted by Mr. William M. Dee, the well-known sewer-builder. Mr. Dee s a practical workman as wellasa sanitary engineer, and_has made the subject of veutilation a study for years. After along series of experitnents he has perfected a methol that is simple and effective. It may not be generally known that the sewerage system of the Palmer House, which contatns 150,000 linear feet of drain-pive, was designed and put in by Mr. Dee. So also he was called oo to do the Qrainage work for the Sherman House, Grand Pacific, Garduer House, and other prominent blocks and buildings in the business district, as well as hundreds of private resideoces. To fact, so thoroughly is he_recognized as o master in his profession thet he is aimost always employed to furnish the drainage in hotels or public buildings where perfect ventila- tion fs absolutely essential, and his opinion as an expert is sought on all questions relating to this most important branch of build- ing work. Where all others nave failed, he has suceeeded in completely ridding the most badly- affected houses of all Dogious gases, and thou- sauds of families to-day owe their pleasunt and healthful homes to his zenius in this line. One great sonrce of trouble found by Mr. Dee* in buildings as ordinarily constructea is the use of cheap drain pipe carclessly and imperfectly jointed, put in by irresponsible contracrors, whose only aim is to make all they can on the This inferior aud cheap work may job. pass_uonoticed jn other parts of the building, but in the arainage-work such economy {3 inexcusable ~und criminal. The use of inferior unglazed and but partially icrificd sewer pipewhich emits from every joint these deleterious ases is an additional cause of defective drainage. Mr. Dee, theretore, in bis work uses only the Akron Standard Salt-Glazed Sewer-Pipe, manufactured only by the Akron Sewer-Plpe Company. This pipe is impervious to the action of sewer gases or the acids gene- rated in sewers, and has been proved to be the only pipe thatis absolutely safe and reliable. This celebrated vipe is manufactured at Akron, 0., and Mr. D. L. King, the Secretary of the Company, is well koowu in. business circles of this city, his Company having supplied most of the sewer-pipe used in the City ot Chicago since 1856, as well as tmost of the large Eastern cities. Mr. Dee has sole control of this pipe for the Chicago market. It is impossible to givea correct ides of the system of veutilation adopted by Mr. Dee with-« the aid of dingraws, but all who are inierested should call at his office and consult with him on this most important subject. I ——— MINING INVESTMENTS, Inview of the precarious condition of trade, the uncertainty of business, and the growing Jack of confidence in the varied interests which were eagerly sought after as safe and relable investments by those who Were considered safe tpointers,” and whose lead the less informed usually follow, it is not to be wondered at that these very men who hitherto have ignored min- ing investments as ‘ speculation,” and conse- quently uncertain, have turned thelr eyes west- ward and defened to take urder advisement the question of the development of the, to them, ®rreat unknown.” While Chicazo has nob been without its share of those who, in the di- rection named, were credulous, yet possessing as it does keen and far-sighted business men, it has not failed to furnish its quota of iulzulnnfi minds, possessed by men of foresight, vim, an capital,—men who lead rather than foltow. and who were mot slow in. recogniz- jng the fact that mining 1nvestments in San Juan County, Colorado, had ceased to be speculative and become a certaiuty. Not that they entered upon the enterprise with hopes predicated upon visionary or aerial prospectus, but upon conclusions reached throuzh the light of careful and painstaking investigation, result- ingin the formation of what is now kuown as ‘The Big Giant Silver-Mining Company. This Company is _oflicered by men koown' and re- spected, and whose association with it is in itself a guarantee, not only of the reliability of the project, but also of the fact that they bave given the subject deep and earpest thought.

The bill alleges that the transfer of said College by said Bryant to said Rix was wade for the purpose of defrauding the credit- ors of slnid Bryant; and that the sale was in fact only a “sham,” The bill {nrther sets forth that in such transfer said Rix, for areasonable salary, was to conduct the business of the College, ac- counting to said Bryant for all the earnings of said College, until such time as Bryant had ob- taived his discharge from the creditors: and, farther, that said Rix has been so conducting the College as to destroy, in o large measure, its value, make it unprofitable, and render it worth- less. Inview of these facts, the creditors ask that a Receiver may be appointed as being for their best interests. MARRIAGE-LICENSES. Record of the Unions of the Week. The County Clerk has done a larger business in the fssuing of marriaze licenses the past week than he did the week before, and it i8 to be pre- sumed that he has correspondingly added tothe happiness of those with wbom he has dealt. Last week he issued -eighty-three licenses. against ninety-four this week, and it will be seen by comparison that the per- centage of foreign traffic io hearts has lavgely decreased, and that the percentage of American business has very much increased. It really may be said that the marital fever has raged inthe cityto such an extent asto be alarming to St. Louis and its directory man, but particularly pleasiog to those doting over the growth of Chieago, expecting to see it eclipse New Yorkin population in the next ten years. “Iie licenses issued during the week have been as follows: 756 Wabash avenue. 56 Wabash avenue, Wiiliam Abel.. ‘analport avenue.

The Joca- tion is the most advantageous that could be desired. A tunnel of 150 feet in length will strike the vein aboub 500 feet below the surface; its close proximity to timber, good water-power, and’ eplendid Foads, will’ epsble the Company to work the mine With a very small outlay of money. The distance from the mine to Lake City is nineteen miles, to Animas Forks two miles, and to Mineral City one-half mile, at all of which points there sre larze mills and redaction ; works, affording immediate market for all ore taken out. But the Company intends to avail foself of the Iarge profits fn this. business, and will crect its own smelting works during the coming summer. 3 A laree collection of specimen ore, taken out of this and other mincs i San Juan County, are on exhibition at the Comipany’s office, 93 Fifth avenue. ———— A CREDITORS' BILL - 1 Katie S.
